Ruan Xiaonuan laughed and said, "Why is he so ugly? it is not at all like you, Elder Sister Wan. " But there were tears in his eyes.

Guan Wan looked at him lovingly, and replied, "I'll just wait for him to grow up again." Unfortunately, she couldn't see it anymore.

"mother cannot grow up with you. He does not even have the qualifications to be named. But I hope that you can be a normal person without any problems. " She said all this in a nagging manner, as if he was saying that he wanted all the admonishments.

Ruan Xiaonuan could not bear it, she tried her best to hold back her tears and said, "Elder Sister Wan, it won't happen. You have to grow up with him and watch him get married and have kids. "

"Xiao Wen, I will give him a nickname and he will be safe. After I leave, please take care of him for me a little more. Also, I don't want Qing Xi to be used by others in the palace, as long as they are safe. " Guan Wan looked at her pleadingly.

Ruan Xiaonuan did not dare to agree, and shook her head with all her might. But she knew that her time was running out so she continued, "I probably won't be able to see father and mother, and Chen Er won't be able to see him even if she marries. I've prepared a dowry for her, and when I get there, you can pass it on to her. Little Warm, help me tell Daddy that after Chen Er marries, he will return to her hometown from her old age, as he won't be able to tolerate us anymore. "

"Elder Sister Wan, stop talking. Close your eyes and rest for a while." Ruan Xiaonuan cried loudly like a child.

"Xiao Wen, I knew that this day would come. I am glad that I did not misunderstand you back then. You must remember what I said and take good care of Qing Xi and Xiao Ping. " It was as if she was using all her strength to say this. Ruan Xiaonuan's eyes were blurry, and she could only keep nodding her head.

"Ping Er, help me call Qing Xi in." Ping Er also ran out while crying.

Gu Qingxi didn't know why all the adults were crying. Seeing the baby lying there, she asked in a new tone, "mother, is this my brother?"

Guan Wan touched his daughter's face one last time, and said to her, "Qing Xi, when mother is no longer here, you must protect little brother well, and prevent him from being bullied." Little Qing Xi did not know what she meant and obediently said, "I am the big sister, so I will definitely protect little brother well."

Guan Wan laughed, and looked at the brother and sister longingly. In the end, her eyes still closed. Xiao Ping might have realized that his mother had left and suddenly burst into tears. No matter how they tried to coax his, it was useless. On the other hand, Qing Xi kept pushing Guan Wan away, and said anxiously, "mother, wake up, little brother is crying. Wake up, ok?" But the man would never answer her.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at the three of them with reddened eyes as she hugged Qing Xi tightly in her embrace, and said as if she had sworn, "Elder Sister Wan, I will definitely protect the two of them well. I hope that you will leave the palace in your next life and become an ordinary person."

The heavens probably pitied her. The originally clear and bright weather was instantly covered in dark clouds. When Gu Qingcheng walked in, he had only said a single sentence in a soft voice, "Engrave it."

"Gu Qingcheng, are you even human? You didn't even have a shred of heartache when you watched your wife, who gave birth to your child, die? Why didn't you come before? You have to wait until the Elder Sister Wan dies before you appear. " This was the first time Ruan Xiaonuan's family had passed away after coming to this world. She had seen it with her own eyes, and she could only watch helplessly as her life faded away.

As for Gu Qingcheng, not only was he late, he only said "grave" as if it was as light as a feather. When she thought about how Guan Wan was continuously haggard, her intuition told her that he had a relationship with the emperor.

"Have you become an emperor's fool? Or is there no heart anymore? " Ruan Xiaonuan's words were each more ruthless than the last.

This time, the people around Gu Qingcheng finally reacted, and directly took out their weapons, wanting to pull her out. Ruan Xiaonuan sneered, "Why would Elder Sister Wan marry someone like you?"

"All of you, step back!" Gu Qingcheng commanded for them to retreat.

His lips moved, but he didn't say anything. In the end, he could only bring his people and leave Phoenix Maiden Palace.

The empress dowager had also arrived late, so she had Little Ping be carried by her side. He glanced at Ruan Xiaonuan and said, "I will take care of him."

"Royal Grandmother, you can't take little brother away." Only Gu Qingxi remembered the words his mother said before he died, and rushed over without a care for anything else.

However, she was no longer the same as before. She could only watch helplessly as her little brother was taken away.

Ruan Xiaonuan knew that nothing would happen to the prince if he stayed with the empress dowager, but he couldn't be at ease with Qing Xi. When they left the palace, Qing Xi directly said, "Qing Xi, follow Fourth Aunt home and send you back tomorrow, okay?"

"But the mother will be alone here." she said hesitantly.

When she opened her mouth, the tears that Ruan Xiaonuan had struggled to hold fell again. She quickly wiped it away and held her hand, saying, "It's fine, there's still Ping Er here. You and Fourth Aunt can go and stay for the night."

Gu Qingxi reluctantly glanced at them once, then left the Phoenix Maiden Palace with Ruan Xiaonuan. When she first left, he saw Gu Junxiu, Prime Minister Guan and Shangguan Ling who were in a hurry. She let out a cry and choked with sobs, "I'm sorry, foster father, I didn't protect her properly."

The white-haired Prime Minister Guan sent the black haired man away, almost fainting. The usually serious person's eyes had turned red.

"Foster father, I'll send you back to the Prime Minister's Estate. Elder Sister Wan said something before she left." It was almost nightfall, and they could not stay in the palace, so their daughter could not see them for the last time.

Ruan Xiaonuan did not dare to speak, as she would cry the moment she opened her mouth. She could only lean on Gu Junxiu's shoulder and twitch.

When they arrived at the residence, Madam Guan saw their expressions and immediately fainted without a word. Another wave of chaos swept over them, and only after a long time did they regain consciousness.

"He's a nice person, why did he disappear just like that?" Madam Guan was already sobbing. Guan Chen cried loudly, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was filled with weeping again.

After a long time, the crying sound gradually died down. The Madam Guan asked, "I didn't even see Wan'er's last moments."

"Xiao Wen, how is the child?" His mother died right after he was born, and he still didn't know how to survive in that palace.

Ruan Xiaonuan knew what she was worried about and said quickly, "Please be safe for the time being with the empress dowager, she will definitely be fine."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the Qing Xi who had opened her eyes wide and continued, "It's just that Qing Xi doesn't know what to do."

"Grandmother, why are you crying?" Qing Xi asked curiously when she heard her own name, and saw their red eyes.
